So Smith and Bancroft issue public apologies this morning yet the coward Warner goes into hiding. Warner is a cancer

Pretty sure he has offered an apology (albeit via Twitter) and has promised a full one once he is back in Oz.

I mean it is only 3 posts up......

You think smith and Bancroft wanted to do an interview straight of the plane?

Warner wants the full whammy of a press conference outside his house.

Smith mentioned this was the first time it happened - yeah right. Then again he’s not going to say anything but that

Smith's performance was a bit pathetic really.

Kinda sad..  :(

They’re only sorry they got caught, these are professional cricketers and adults who are aware of the risks and knew what they were doing.

Its one thing to be aware of the risk, that of being caught. And a complete other thing to have even the slightest idea of the actual consequence once your caught. Because these guys clearly had nf idea! In short, because the world has never imploded quite like it has on this occasion.

For me a mistake is an accident, this was pre planned and a concious choice to do it.

Like others have said, it’s unlikely this is the first time it’s gone on, just the first time they got busted!

I’m probably being overly harsh, but given the behaviour of the Aussie team over the past few years my sympathy is really lacking

Shows how little support warner has from former players Harris, Clarke, and M.johnson. All supporting smith and Bancroft but not warner.

Few of the ex England folk like prior and trott digging the knife into warner

I think that's a satisfactory end to me, though I would have reduced Smith's suspension to 9 months and Bancroft's to 6 months.
Lehmann gets to go on his own terms, which is fair enough. He has to be partly responsible for the loss of control of the side over time.
Warner deserves everything he gets. The fact he hasn't yet addressed the press suggests he won't be going quietly- I expect there to be fireworks.
Smith gets a degree of sympathy from me, and he's clearly seriously remorseful which is something. He'll be back.
Bancroft is little more than a stooge, 9 months feels too long.

We'll never know the truth of whether there was previous ball-tampering or other unsavoury actions from this Australian side, but I think an appropriate level of justice has been done.

Time to finally focus on the cricket.

Lehmann steps down....... Aussies next game is a One Day Warm Up against Sussex on June 9th - before the ODI series against us.

So they have a little bit of time to think about who the new coach will be.
